IM*O (insert adjective of choice), mainstream fractal art will be an oxymoron for a while yet. First, for most people fractal is synonymous with psychedelic Mandy, or at least something highly mathematical looking. Others just don't care about fractals, and calling it fractal art is counterproductive. The bottom line is that art has to succeed in its aesthetic qualities as appreciated by the viewer. Fractals have to move out of the realm of 'qualifier' and into the realm of technique; when they can be ignored they will be accepted. Consider fractals as part of a toolbox, a means to an end; let the art speak for itself and it stands more chance, to the extent that it's any good. In summary, for 'fractal art' to become more mainstream it has to lose the label. Let it be subsumed into abstract, surrealism, impressionism or whatever, rather than the other way around.
